Bill Huth Memorial Hill Climb Series - Event #1

Willow Springs Int'l Raceway

About this event

Bill Huth Memorial Hill Climb Series in association with Willow Springs International Raceway and Group 5 Motorsports - Event #1 - Powered by HAGERTY. 

The Hill Climb will be a “Double Down “ and like Bill Huth himself, unique. The event will be run on part of the Streets of Willow ( which Bill personally created, and run in two separate directions to create the total hill climb time for each event. So in the morning, your Hill Climb runs in one direction and in the second segment, in the opposite direction. This is unique in Hill Climbs and as unique as the very first Hill Climb run at Willow ( see poster ). Run from a standing start, the Hill Climb is open to a wide range of cars, street and race, with classes even available for Karts. The course will be under 1.5 miles.   

The program is scheduled for a total of 2 events in the 2023 competition year.  (6 events in 2024)

 Classes for:

  • Street cars
  • Race cars
  • Race karts
  • Modern cars
  • Vintage vehicles are included and encouraged. 

Series Champions will be declared based upon the points scored in 60% of the events, (that is, you must run 60% of the total number of events to be in competition for championships).  A minimum of 10 competition and practice laps are guaranteed and based upon the number of entries more laps may be available. 

Two timed laps will be recorded to determine overall and class winners.  Six Classes have been established, generally defined as over and under 2 liters.   Class placement in one of the six designations is determined at the time of registration.
